What happens when a service asks you to change your password? How do you remember that it is F4c3b00k$2 rather than F4c3b00k$1? What happens to your algorithm

What happens when a service asks you to change your password? How do you remember that it is F4c3b00k$2 rather than F4c3b00k$1?
What happens to your algorithm if the password requirements reject special characters?
- KyleJune 4y agoNot the person you were asking but I have a mental algorithm I use that produces unique salt for each website. When I run into issues about special characters not being accepted, I replace them with the number equivalent. For example 5 instead of %. It can be a pain to forget but there aren't many sites I use that are like that. I still use a password manager I can reference if my algorithm isn't working for some reason.
